Our 3 daughters had the opportunity to try Lil' Pinkies Up cooking class & had such an incredible experience! Allison is so friendly and knowledgeable and she's able to teach them about food in such a fun way.

Her enthusiasm for cooking and teaching the kids about food is infectious and inspiring. I love that she challenged them to try new things and involved them with all aspects of cooking their meal.

She also sent home the recipe along with a ton of information for the kids (and parents!) on food and a really thoughtful politeness contract that says everyone in the family will eat the same food and be willing to try a new food at least 17 times before deciding they don't like it!

We are still upholding the contract! One of our daughters is an extremely picky eater and although it's still a challenge, she has continued with trying foods she may not have previously eaten at every meal.

Thanks Allison for allowing our girls to be a part of such an awesome experience and showing them that trying new foods can be an adventure! We truly mean every word of this review! Thanks Allison and hopefully we'll get the girls in with you again soon!

Allison hosted a cooking party for my daughter's birthday and it was the best, most stress-free decision I could have made. Allison is so patient and funny with the children.

I had my 8-year-old daughter and 6 year old son attend a class in hopes of helping them broaden their very small food world.

Our family is grateful for the tools we have learned through Chef Allison! As a mom, what I love the most is hearing both of my two sons age 6 and 8 say

My girls LOVED their class this fall! The politeness policy is still in effect in our household and I do hear the words, “I don’t prefer it” quite often...and that’s ok!

My daughter had an amazing time cooking. This class taught her to try something unique while at the same time feeling proud of making it herself.

My kids have enjoyed their time cooking with Ms. Allison....so much they are now enjoying cooking at home!

April Aleman

I have 4 children each with individual likes and dislikes. I am the parent who has always refused to cook a separate meal for kids at breakfast, lunch or dinner. So, I like to think my parenting technique would have created kids with good, adventurous eating habits.

Allison's cooking classes have done wonders in our home. Empowering my children to be more helpful and interested in the kitchen. Also more open minded to what we are having for a meal.

Allison is such a natural teacher with patience of a saint! She had my 3 and 5 year old in one of her classes recently and was so great with them. She taught them to appreciate and understand food even more than they already did!
